Chief Arnold Porter said police are working leads and tracking down information on the shooting that closed down usually-busy Bath Street for much of Tuesday evening. No suspects were charged as of Wednesday at noon.
Multiple shots were fired around 7:55 p.m. and the victim was struck, police said. It was not clear how many times the man was struck by gunfire or if he was targeted. Porter said he could not say whether the shooters were on foot or driving by when the shots rang out.
